I really don't see the big deal with this centre being located two blocks away from the World Trade Center. The centre itself contains a 9/11 memorial, so I don't believe it is a "victory mosque" as some have called it. However, I am opposed to the many members of the Muslim community...

So I'm a student in Universtiy and during the summer I work for the City of Mississauga as a student employee and it pays well, but it's the worst job ever. I spend most days there hating life. Not only that, but it provides no experience for the "real" job world. I was wondering what job...

I am horrified how quickly everyone here has turned on the police. After what happened on Saturday, I hardly blame them for taking such precautious measures. I keep hearing these myths of "police brutality" and showing youtube clips out of context does not help either. I for one, do not care...

Honesty, I am sickened by every hippie that decided to go out and protest. My favourite part was how they act so self-righteous, telling everyone that they are going to be "peaceful" and how it's their god-given right. But they knew as well as anyone else, that crowds were going to get rowdy...

San Francisco had an appalling homeless problem. When I was in the financial district, it got so bad, the homeless outnumbered everyone else. Kinda scary really. Every corner I turned there would be someone going through garbage. I also felt San Francisco felt a little too touristy.

What are your favourite cities that you've visited and why? I've only been to New York City and San Francisco and I loved them both. I really loved the density and the grit of New York City. With San Francisco, I loved the topography and the upscale feel that the city seemed to have. What...

I thought Vancouver was LA North? I just question how much of Los Angeles is actually safe. All of South Central is bad, the San Fernando Valley has some really bad parts, East LA has bad parts, and even Long Beach isn't the safest area. That covers just about every direction in the city. The...

Everyone seems to hate Los Angeles as a city. It's got a lot of problems (smog, crime, traffic, etc). But it has an appeal to it that other suburban cities like Atlanta and Houston simply don't have. Do you believe Los Angeles is a good city to live?

More examples of political correctness in the UK. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7576357/Muslim-staff-escape-NHS-hygiene-rule.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1261953/Christian-nurse-Shirley-Chaplin-crucifix-row-Royal-Devon-Exeter-Hospital.html

Well, I went to neighbourhoods like Richmond, Sea Cliff, North Beach, Pacific Heights, Russian Hill, and Alamo Square. Pacific Heights had a lot of young, wealthy people. I loved that neighbourhood.

I wasn't really dissapointed in San Francisco, it's just I thought it was going to be a more "happening" city with hipsters and a vibrant youth crowd. But it just seemed to be middle aged people driving a Prius. In addition, it seemed too touristy for me. You don't even know if the person...

So I went to San Francisco and I loved it. I was intrigued by the fact the city is characterized by bohemian culture and liberal hippies. But what I noticed more than anything was the massive homeless population (they were everywhere, digging through garbage) and the large asian influence. I...

This thread is clearly not a waste of time, seeing as this issue does exsit, regardless of what your on it opinion is. UK Thinking Is Harming Society http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4576528.stm Can Britain Survive Politically-Correct Multiculturalism...

I agree political correctness is a term misused by the right-wing on a constant basis. But I would never say that political correctness doesn't exist, I see it all the time, even on this forum. The most common example I hear about is the comparison of the police force in New York City verus...

This is off topic, but does anyone believe the democrats are going to lose the house majoirty come November? Nancy Pelosi is arguably one of the most hated figures on the left because of Republican bitterness. Her approval rating is like 11%. On the other hand though, she did secure enough votes...

I have heard from so many British citizens that political correctness is out of control over there, I wouldn't know as I don't live there. But you simply can't deny that a majority of terrorist attacks are committed by Muslims. It's not as if these attacks are committed from extremists of any...

I find it hard to believe that radical Islam emerges from discrimination against Muslims. Many minorities face discrimination, and but yet they don't resort to slaughtering innocent civilians.

I don't profess to know much about the issues in the UK. But from what I've read it seems the UK has some serious issues, that are arguably even more catastrophic than the problems facing the US. It seems political correctness has established a climate in which thugs and delinquents are given...

I never suggested I would not visit these places because they are not as gay-friendly. But seeing as that was the whole theme of this thread, it just makes sense to stay on course. Truth is, I wouldn't visit those places, much less live there, because they are terrible cities overall with...

I wouldn't imagine Atlanta to be very gay-friendly, despite the fact it may be considered a liberal city within a highly conservative state. I really have a hard time believing that the second you enter city limits all of a sudden the city becomes gay-friendly, which is what a lot of people seem...
